Salesforce migration
Transferring data to SalesForce cloud platform is a complicated and responsible process, that's why Techinlab pays special attention to it
Preparatory phase
Prior to the migration launch, there is a preparation phase. The importance of preparation cannot be minimized, as there are many requirements:
- Data mapping, which involves mapping source fields to destination fields
- Checking the information for an entity, which acts as a prerequisite for interpretation. If the entity is not present, it will be added
- Providing the ability to update the data, as well as manage it
- Creating conditions for data recovery and using the return function in case of an error
-
Using different migration methods to prevent quality and management issues.
Data protection during migration
Techinlab uses a set of methods to secure information during migration
Technologies
Common migration options are importing data from another platform into SalesForce and from one organization into another (when the business includes several companies and departments)
The tools used for importing into Techinlab are:
- SalesForce Import Wizard, which functions in the web application of the same name and transfers up to 50,000 records at a time
- Salesforce Data Loader, which adds, corrects and deletes information from the ecosystem and applies an API to simplify migration
- IsyncSF is a migration application with options to clean up information and create templates
Types of migration:
Software migration
Migration from the alternative CRM might be a challenging process, as different CRM uses different data formats. Reformatting and mapping them to match the Salesforce data migration requirements takes time, effort, and planning
